Grand Opening "Pascal Annex!"

In 2015, the Dunbar Historical Society was donated "Seated Torso" by Suzanne Pascal - the world's largest carved glass sculpture. The glass used to create this sculpture originated from Dunbar. On May 7, 2016, there will be a celebration and grand opening of the Dunbar Historical Society's new addition - the "Pascal Annex."  Here "Seated Torso" will be on display along with local historic artifacts for all those that visit Dunbar along the Sheepskin Trail. 
The Trail Town Program® is working on planning a workshop(s) for this year that would get you out on the trail.  Please fill out this brief survey so that we may plan this event with your interests in mind.

The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is proud to present the West Virginia Sojourn—the latest ride in our 2016 Sojourn Series. Join them June 19-22 for a wild and wonderful adventure on West Virginia’s scenic North Bend Rail Trail.

Trail users enjoy the beauty and recreation of the Oil Region’s trails and now these cyclists will have the opportunity to enjoy art and educational workshops, lectures, and small events at "The Chicken Coop- Studio 306.”
